A go-to for everything from tech and appliances to beauty and toys, Amazon doesn’t usually come to mind when you think of fashion – but if you put the time in, you can find some gems.

In recent years, Amazon has upped its game with its clothing and accessories offerings – from heavyweights Levi’s, Birkenstock, Calvin Klein, Crocs and Uggs, to up-and-coming labels such as Filippa K and JW Pei. Last year,the retailer even opened its first-ever dedicated clothing store in California.

There’s also the lesser-known Prime Wardrobe section of the site, which allows you to try before you buy. Meanwhile, just last year, Amazon announced the Local Label Hub, which showcases small and lesser-known fashion brands.

Whether it’s a pair of sunglasses from Gucci or a TikTok-viral Skims alternative from an independent brand, the retailer should be on your radar for a wardrobe refresh.

With the announcement that Amazon is hosting another Prime Day sale this October, we’ve rounded up the crème de la crème of Amazon’s fashion offering below.

The best fashion brands to shop at Amazon

When is Amazon Prime Day?

Amazon has confirmed the dates for its Prime Big Deal Days event. Kicking off from midnight on Tuesday 10 October and continuing until the end of Wednesday 11 October, the sale will offer a full 48 hours of shopping for consumers across the globe.

The dates fall in line with IndyBest’s predictions of an early October event, running at a similar time to Amazon’s Prime Early Access event, which took place last year on Tuesday 11 October and ended on Wednesday 12 October. Similarly, the retailer’s Prime Day event for 2023 took place on Tuesday 11 July and ended on Wednesday 12 July.

The October 2022 event was billed as a precursor to Black Friday, but Amazon has seemingly ditched that messaging this year. However, the latest event is still taking place in the month before Black Friday.

What type of deals are there on Prime Day?

Throughout the flash sale, there will be lightning deals that last for only a short period of time – whether that’s until the promotion has ended or until all the deals are claimed. This means it’s best to be quick on the big day to ensure you don’t miss out.

How do I shop the Prime Day deals?

The deals on Amazon Prime Day are exclusively for those with a Prime membership, which you can easily sign up for here. It costs £8.99 a month and you’ll not only benefit from Prime Day deals, but you’ll also be able to enjoy free next-day or same-day delivery on items, as well as access to thousands of free e-books, Prime Video and Amazon Music streaming services.

If you don’t want to pay the membership fee, you could sign up for a 30-day free trial prior to Prime Day, which will give you access to the sale. You won’t be charged but you will need to fill in your details, and Amazon will automatically charge you when the month is up unless you cancel your subscription.
